⚔️ xDai Weekly Recap - 20/11/2020
This post is more than one year old. The information may be outdated. Check the latest posts.
This week we highlight several crowd-sourced funding platforms on xDai. The blockchain community is rallying around projects and building infrastructure from the ground up. Matching funds are helping smaller projects and developers realize a decentralized future!
Note that we will skip several weekly updates over the holiday season. We will not publish a weekly update next week: November 21 - 28.
💰 Ecosystem Funding
✓ Buidl Guidl
Austin Griffith's latest project aims to connect funders and developers through a quadratic funding mechanism. This provides signals about what funders want in rapid rounds, and devs can then rapidly iterate on experimental projects designed to support the entire Ethereum Ecosystem. Funding is on Ethereum, at https://support.buidlguidl.com/ and bounties are on xDai. Many xDai-centric projects are available to fund.

✓ clr.fund
clr.fund provides permissionless quadratic funding to Ethereum projects. After a successful first run, clr.fund Round 1 introduces BrightID for Sybil resistance and mid-round sign ups for contributors. This round ~$1,000 of matching funds were provided by STAKEhaus (a moloch DAO on xDai sponsored by RaidGuild and xDAI).
